The boss at unclebarky.com -- me -- has decided that it’s sole employee -- me -- could use a little respite as the Easter season approaches. But we’ve left behind a wealth of reviews of upcoming new series and notable documentary films in addition to a review of the Season 7B opener of Mad Men. Most of the newcomers are bunched on Easter night. But two others are coming early next week. Here’s the complete list, with links to all of our reviews:

PBS’ latest Masterpiece presentation, the six-chapter Wolf Hall, takes its own good time -- and then some -- in again retelling the story of King Henry VIII and his hold on consigliere Thomas Cromwell. Premiering on Easter Sunday, it stars Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis of Homeland fame. Our review is here.Ed Bark

Lifetime’s swingin’ new series, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, picks up four months after the network’s hit movie, Lizzie Borden Took An Ax ended with her acquittal. But in this eight-episode treatment, premiering on Easter Sunday, she’s clearly guilty as sin and still intent on chopping more than broccoli. Christina Ricci again stars, and our review is here.

Fox has regrouped in recent months by reaping a ratings bonanza with Empire while also scoring with another midseason entry, The Last Man On Earth. But it seems highly unlikely that its latest new comedy, Weird Loners, will make it a winning threesome. Our review is here.

The buzz over HBO’s The Jinx is still among us. But now comes the network’s arguably even more startling Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. It premieres on Sunday, March 29th, and our review is here.Ed Bark

The makers of HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, have accomplished what prosecutors and cops couldn’t. Isn’t that the overall real story here? My assessment is on the Network News & Reviews page.

It’s official. KTXD-TV’s (Ch. 47) locally produced The Broadcast has been dropped from the station’s morning lineup. It joins the station’s other major programming initiative, The Texas Daily, which was dropped a year ago. Details are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.

Both Wednesday and Thursday were eventful TV nights in D-FW and around the nation. But our “Local Nielsen Ratings Snapshots” bring it all home by charting the TV tastes of North Texans, including your day-to-day newscast preferences.

Netflix is still basking in the third season of House of Cards and Season 1 of Tina Fey’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (after NBC rejected it). Our reviews are based on watching both seasons in their entirety. Why? Because better judgments can be made that way. And besides, why not?

The review of House of Cards, with no major spoilers, can be found right here. And for an assessment of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you can go right here.

Fox4 ascended to Nielsen ratings heaven with its Wednesday night newscast preludes to D-FW’s Thursday morning frozen tundra. The station then dominated the elongated Thursday morning coverage as well. We have all the numbers on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page, where you can believe what you read without any of those pesky “content-sharing” spins. Imagine that.

Plus, return with us now to a creaky 1987 promo for Wheel of Fortune. KXAS-TV (Channel 5) carried it back then, before WFAA-TV (Channel 8) took it away and later foolishly let it go to CBS11. Ed Bark

Meteorologist Jennifer Myers, best known in D-FW television for co-anchoring Fox4’s weekend morning newscasts, has gone public with her impending thyroid removal for what appears to be stage 1 Papillary Cancer. Myers, whose surgery is scheduled for Thursday, March 5th, expects to be off the air for at least a couple of weeks.

Her upbeat Facebook post so far has generated nearly 1,000 comments. Details are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page. And of course we wish her the very best. Ed Bark

Jane McGarry, a contributor on Gannett8’s Good Morning Texas since 2013, is joining the program full-time as a co-host with incumbent Mike Castellucci. Details and an interview with McGarry are on our Dallas-Fort Worth TV page.Ed Bark

And the list goes on: From CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to CSI: Miami to CSI: NY to the new CSI: Cyber. This time CBS gets an initially unanticipated bonus -- newly minted Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette in the starring role. Our review is here.

Plus, three new series premieres, some big returnees and two other biggies collided in prime-time Sunday. Our weekend D-FW ratings “snapshot” has the details.Ed Bark
